A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Home for the Holidays Good Friday....

Well today is the day where meat is not allowed to be eaten for us. So it is oatmeal for breakfast, tuna for dinner and salmon for supper. Cindy, would you like to come over?

I'm hopin' we can get a fish fry!!!!
We'll see though, those puppies are getting
expensive around here...

We had a wonderful service this evening! Near the end two elders of the church brought a wooden cross up the aisle and stood it up front, then two women of the church draped the purple, or blue cloth across the front and over the arms,(which will be changed Easter mornig for white), then slipped the crown of thorns over the top. Then each member of the congregation brought a slip of paper on which they printed something they needed to give up or correct in their lives (no names) and the men nailed it to the cross, symbolizing every sin for which Jesus was nailed to the cross. It was very moving!!

We had a traditional Catholic Liturgy, First the Way of the Cross, then a Long Liturgy, followed by the Veneration of the Cross, and Communion (I though you don't et communion during these three days :S) It lasted three hours, boy do my knees hurt from kneeling!

Kenny...did you kneel the whole three hours?!!! Or just a lot of different times?

WOW! that's a lot of up and down and kneeling Kenny. i don't remember easter services being that long before.
